Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Rachael: How about vegetarian refried beans and then you can have the fixings for make your own taco's, nacho's burrito's etc. You can use a shredded soy cheese. Gayle rw1647 Thu, 5 Oct 2006 6:10 PM Help! Trying to feed a non-veggie! My sister-in-law is coming to visit this weekend and I have no idea what to feed her. She isn't a vegetarian, which wouldn't be a big problem, except that I have recently gone vegan and have basically removed all processed foods from my diet and she eats a very typical SAD...lots of meat, lots of salt, lots of sugar and LOTS of processed foods. She doesn't like vegetables, with very few exceptions, won't touch fake meats or, heaven forbid, tofu, and only has a vague concept of what a whole grain is. I'd like to make something that she'll actually like and be willing to eat, and I'm not interested in making too much of a " you are going to die if you keep eating like you do " statement (at least not this weekend). But I'm also not willing to make a seperate meal for her or to go out a buy animal products for her. She's a good kid and I'd like to be able to figure something out that we both can enjoy.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I dont' know if this has been suggested but veggie 'meatballs' with pasta is really good for someone who wants to imitate the meat for someone and have great taste. I know people who made this and guests didn't know it was vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 What can I say, I come from a " mixed " family too. For gatherings it's MUCH less stressful to just buy microwaveable things for " those " people and the rest of us eat Vegetarian.

We will be inviting his brother's family down here for Thanksgiving but if travel doesn't firt in their schedule with their daughter dance practices for The Nutcracker performances, we may end up there. I will be the odd man out. I will be the inconvenience. I will be happy to bring some dishes that I can eat and they can " Share " too. It is so much nicer when you can share things. Could she bring a meat main dish and you make a veggie one. I also think the spaghetti with added meatballs is a great one. Sharing most and adding a little to tailor for someone else and it isn't to hard. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Debbie, It sounds like you'll be making it as easy as possible for your relatives. :-) My daughter is also tied up all season long with Nutcracker rehearsals so I understand how it can impact a whole family. It's funny, but I didn't used to like Nutcracker. Now that I have a serious dance student who has danced in MANY Nutcracker performances, I'm positively crazy about Nutcracker. ;-) Sharon debjreed wrote: > You know my husband and I just discussed something similar but the > shoe is on the other foot.
